"I was thinking, i might have something like the motor you mentioned, I think it was from a very old hard drive memory, i mean old!. This was maybe a 6 or 7 inch square alnico magnet and a 4 inch voice coil made of very heavy rectangular wire. There were two rods that guided the VC. Somewhere in my old house i have that and intend to pick it up when i finish moving."
Yup, those are the beasts. I gave mine the scrap man. I have small neo magnets from DEC RA81 disks that are much more powerful.
